double your running distance . . . just like that. easy.

But I'm not here tonight to tell you how cute Selma is when she wakes up from her nap and eats a pickle (she is cute though; isn't she cute?).

I'm here to tell you how to up your running distance in five easy steps:

1. decide to go for a quick run - - just real quick - - not long at all2. don't look at a map before you leave3. convince yourself that the weather is so nice - - you can run just a half a mile more4. cut across from that one street to that other one that you are pretty sure meets up with that other street5. turn around and run home. drag yourself up the hill.

I am Naomi.

I live in Mexico city - where I eat tacos as often as I can, hunt for beauty in the chaos (because beauty IS here . . . I just have to work hard to see it), and thank God every single day that my little apartment has such big windows.
